TERRACE TALK: Liverpool - Never a dull moment on Brendan Rodgers’ watch

Genius or lunatic? It’s an oft-asked question round these parts. No reason why it can’t be both, of course.

Brendan was ignominiously slapped for his musings on what this Liverpool team could have achieved in the Champions League on current form. You know, the side heading for a second consecutive triumph in the “If you counted everyone’s points after Christmas” league.

Once you make such claims of course, it helps if you win your Europa League game. It won’t bother Rodgers of course; skin like a rhino, that one. We’re talking about the manager who wrote down “Dejan Lovren: fifth penalty taker” and didn’t collapse in spasms of snot-giggles.
